testimony favors Captain White, whose second
and final naturalization papers were taken out in
his presence in 1866. This was supported
by l. P. Jenkinson. of Rich mond, former consul
at Glasgow. He, too, was in the court room
when White received his second papers of citi-

Clerk Shields Trying to Get the InCorse-
ment of the Union Labor Party.
The attitude of the Union Labor party toward
Sim Coy and the Democratic party in general Is
a matter of much concern to some of the Dem
ocratic aspirants to Office 1t has been pretty
generally believed that Michael Shields. the
present city clerk would be the nominee of the
Union Labor party for that Office but the devel-
opmerts of the last week have been rather dis
couraging to him. It is a foregone conclusion
that be will be the nominee of the Democrats,
and his hope Of election has been in securing
nunciation OF the new party has placed him in
an uncomfortable predicament, though the indi-
cations are that he will train with both parties,
whether it suits Sim or not. His right hand
man. Ed Gould, was kept away from
the first meeting of the new party.
but at the Wednesday night meeting he was
present. and agreed to give the movement his
hearty support 1t is generally understood that
it will be his duty to see that his employer is
made the nominee of the convention next Mon
day evening There was long consultation be.
tween Shields and W. P. Smith, the leader oil
the new movement, last evening, but whether
any promises were made could not be ascertain ed.
Thomas Gruelie and the majority OF the promi
nent persons in the Labor party are determined
that there shall be no fusion, and there is some
probability of a split IN the new party over the
matter. Smith and Shields called upon Gruellt
last night to attempt to induce him to consent
to a fusion, SO far as clerk is concerned but Mr.
Shields got but little satisfaction out OF the In
terview.

and conservative set of city fathers-even so
conservative that they allowed the grass and
shrubbery to grow on the roof of their court
house AS strangers and visitors constantly
made fun of this state of things the city faith
ers concluded to have the shrubbery and grass
removed from the courthouse roof But not
they could not agree on the price asked by the
workmen After many years had passed they
finally agreed to buy cow and place her the
roof to feed on the grass. They thought it
would give the city extra revenue, and be profit
able all around. Sure, they bought that city
cow and engaged machinery to bring the up
to be drawn up was holiday for the whole
town. They placed rope around
the cows neck and started the ma
chinery. But, unfortunately, they fastened
the rope little too tight, and when the cow
came up it dead. Since then Schoppen-
stsedt has the reputation to be town of fools.
Ii strikes me that Indianapolis is going to be the
'Schmppenstedt' of America. great deal of
fun has been made of city's dullness by all
outside newspapers already. We had Council
that bought Garfield Park and Sellers farm,
ETC., for prices that we're five times higher than
the real value. A Council we had that paid Mrs.
Tomlinson nearly more money than the estate
given to the city by her husband worth.
We have now Council that surely does every
thing that the city will not get natural gas soon.
just think. can't finu natural gas the
city limits. Different city companies that were
so enthusiastic of supplying the city with nat
ural gas soon quiet and dead again, for lack
of energy and want of money. Then comes the
Standard Oil Company, and is willing to spend
half million dollars to supply the city with
natural gas from distance. But our city
fathers conclude to make such restrictions that
the Standard Oil Company would be foolish to
risk their money. Restrictions would be ali
right if we had plenty of gas-wells within our
city limits and it would not cost much to
bring the gas here.
There is cry about monopoly Is not the
union of coal dealers q monopoly. too, that
raises the price of coal every winter on the DOOR,
at liberty, without restrictions by city faith
ers? Has not the Standard Oil Company now
almost the sole control of the coal-ol marKets
But the coal oil did not rise in price; the con-
trary, it is lower than it was before. Will
not the Standard Oil Company, after they have
spent half million of dollars in bringing the gas
to the city, in their own interest make the price
of gas cheap that every body would prefer to
use 1t instead of coal2 Our citizens want natural
gas, and want it before winter. even if the price
would be at first high coal. If we after
wards should find gas nearer the city, within
the city limits, the price will regulate itself by
the natural laws of competition. I hope that our
city fathers will not make city a second
"Scheppenstedt" by foolish legislation.
